R D Reid

He was headmaster of King's College Taunton in the 1930s, but resigned in 1937 in being convicted of importuning in 1937. At some point he then moved to 8 Chamberlain Street, Wells where he continued working as an academic and historian.[1] He wrote letters to the Archbishop of Canterbury urging church support for law reform. He raised the issue again in the the Daily Telegraph in 1953, only to be drowned in a chorus of moral outrage.
